Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence of Catalase Mimetic Activity in Ce3+/Ce4+ Doped Bioactive Glasses
Valentina Nicolini,Elisa Gambuzzi,Gianluca Malavasi,Ledi Menabue,Maria Cristina Menziani,Gigliola Lusvardi,Alfonso Pedone,Francesco Benedetti,Paola Luches,Sergio D'Addato,Sergio Valeri +10 more
TL;DR: The ability of Ce-containing bioactive glasses to inhibit oxidative stress in terms of reduction of hydrogen peroxide, by mimicking the catalase enzyme activity is demonstrated here for the first time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nature of Ag Islands and Nanoparticles on the CeO2(111) Surface
Paola Luches,Federico Pagliuca,Sergio Valeri,Francesc Illas,Gloria Preda,Gianfranco Pacchioni +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the nucleation and growth of the Ag nanoparticles have been characterized by STM and XPS (X-ray photoemission spectroscopy) measurements complemented with DFT calculations on Ag atoms, clusters, and extended layers deposited on slab models of the CeO2(111) surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Scanning tunnelling microscopy of MgO ultrathin films on Ag(001)
TL;DR: In this paper, the morphology of ultrathin epitaxial MgO layers reactively grown on Ag(001) was investigated by using scanning tunnelling microscopy, and the largest Ag (001) fractional coverage by monoatomic MglO islands is 70%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxide/metal interface distance and epitaxial strain in the NiO/Ag(001) system.
Carlo Lamberti,Elena Groppo,Carmelo Prestipino,Silvia Casassa,Anna Maria Ferrari,Cesare Pisani,Chiara Giovanardi,Paola Luches,Sergio Valeri,Federico Boscherini +9 more
TL;DR: Geometric parameters of NiO films epitaxially grown on Ag(001) were determined using two independent experimental techniques and ab initio simulations and Periodic slab model results agree with the experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphology, Stoichiometry, and Interface Structure of CeO2 Ultrathin Films on Pt(111)
TL;DR: In this article, a study of CeO2 ultrathin films grown on the Pt(111) surface by reactive deposition of Ce using molecular or atomic oxygen as the oxidizing gas is presented.
